I'm kind of joining Robert with the good news of my first anniversary of rad/chemo treatment and my oncologist gave me a clean bill of health at my last appointment. My surgery came in May, but the biopsy was that all of the cancer had been killed by the rad/chemo, so I decided to celebrate on the anniversary of the treatments. I can easily remember my last treatment as it was the birthday present I gave my wife last year. My last rad treatment was on her birthday, the 27 of February, so I will always remember that one. It sure is a good feeling. Now my ENT is on a 4 month schedule and my rad and oncologist doctors are on a 6 month schedule. Hooray!

Dear Kirk,
A happy day, to be sure. Thanks for sharing a smile on this gray, snowy day. I had never wished time away before cancer hit this home, but now I cannot wait for every good medical appointment. I cannot wait for the day my husband FEELS like my husband and TALKS like my husband and ACTS like my husband. In the meantime, I am cherishing every moment that he is with me Give your wife a hug from me - - I surely know how hard it has been for her to see you through this.
Send love and wishing you good health!
Nicki

Congratulations Kirk

You and your wife deserve a BIG celebration. And what a birthday gift for her!

You have done well, love and light from Helen

Congratulations also from me Kirk!

In a couple of weeks I will be 1 year from cessation of radio...I saw my ENT Onc surgeon last week and he didn't feel the need for the nose scope - cool! Just said everything looks good (blood test was OK, chest OK except for some change, but not important), and to see him in 3 months.

Doesn't it feel so good to have part of that dark cloud lift a little higher above your head? To one day disappear totally.

Cheers!

Congrats Kirk!!! I'm more than a year out from my last rad to my mouth and tongue (about 14 months actually) and about six months out from the finishing up the second round of rad to my neck... Definitely learning to treasure every day...
